During the 1970s a vibrant Chicano theater movement spread across the United States. Inspired by the success of El Teatro Campesino, dozens of theater companies began performing for Latino audiences in parks, community center, churches and other public venues. One such group was El Teatro Espiritú de Aztlán (The Spirit of Aztlán) based in Fullerton, California. César Flores, the director of this theater company, explains how it was made up of at-risk youth and how the experience changed their lives.
